    Hi everyone,
    Has anyone had their hdx 9000 screen flicker and jump around? It works fine on 2nd monitor on vga, but the laptop display flickers\flashes\jumps around. It does not stop and does it in the bios also. :mad:
    Any idea what this could be?

    Bad LCD cable, loose LCD cable, or inverter going bad. If your warranty has expired and you're feeling adventurous, you can download the service manual off HP's website and disassemble the LCD to check on the cable.

    Here's one place where you can get an inverter: http://www.pchub.com/uph/laptop/43-40418-8979/TOKIN-D7318-B001-M1-0-LCD-Inverter.html

    and the LCD cable: http://www.pchub.com/uph/laptop/556-34985-8979/HP-Pavilion-HDX9000-Series--LCD-Cable-20-.html
